Why not host releases on github, etc?

Generally speaking there is nothing against adding gitlab as mirror (or the other way round). Just needs someone to do the work.

Still strange. Sourceforge has plenty of mirrors around the world.... It should be faster.
For now, have you tried to pick a different mirror?

I think there is something unusual in your system, because;
Sourceforge is very fast.

Well given that our older mirrors seem to be mostly out of commission, new mirrors might be a good idea.

What is the URL of the "official mirror" that does not have new releases?

SourceForge does have all releases and release candidates.

Sourceforge isn't a mirror, it is the origin.

The ftp server is up to date. The other is not (as far as I can see).

Which is why I didn't call SourceForge a mirror and simply pointed out it had everything :)

Downloaded again yesterday and it was fast enough (several MB/s)
Assumingly the original issue was a network quirk

Well....

If you ask me, mirroring releases on GitLab would still be nice.
Of course, this needs to be decided by the team. So for now this is just my opinion.

Also, if it were to happen, the question of the work that is involved remains. Somehow the files need to get there.

=> One way would be to have a script (GitLab API) to create a "GitLab release".

Since the individual installers come from different people, the best way would be for a script to download them from sourceforge, and upload them to GitLab (uploads are part of the "project" API).

But it could also be checked with all of the people (involved in building releases), if the could directly upload and send the links (to the uploaded files on gitlab) to one maintainer, who can then create the release.
They would still need a script that takes a list of files, uploads them, and prints the links.

If all the files are uploaded, the release can probably be created via the GitLab web interface.
Though if created by a script, links to sourceforge could also be added (I would not expect anyone wants to add them one by one via the web interface).


If someone wants to help and create such scripts (depending on what the release-builders think they need), then I could go and ask the team, and the builders....

(for testing, just create your own dummy GitLab account or repo, and play with Deployment and Release)
